How do you make roasted brussel sprouts with bacon?
Ingredients
- 1 lb brussel sprouts, shredded or thinly sliced
- 6 pieces chopped bacon, uncooked
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze
- kosher salt, black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. After rinsing, shred your brussel sprouts. If you have a shredding blade for a food processor, you could use that as well or even a box grater. If you have none of those, no problem, just use a knife. Be sure to cut all of the whole sprouts into a similar size.
Next, in a large bowl, drizzle a little olive oil over your shredded brussel sprouts, as well as balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and diced bacon (uncooked).
Pour your brussel sprouts onto a large baking sheet in a single layer and put into the hot oven. Roast for a cooking time of 30 minutes, tossing your roasted sprouts every 10 minutes, until the everything is golden brown.

And done. See how easy? This easy side will be the star of the show!

Store your leftovers in an airtight container. This recipe is even delicious the next day as leftovers, cold and served in the form of a brussel sprouts salad. The bacon fat and olive oil give them just enough flavor to keep it interesting but not too overpowering for your taste buds!

These are fantastic. The best I’ve ever made, my husband says...
Question tho - you say 350 in the blog but 375° in the instructions. Does it matter?

So glad to hear you enjoyed them!!! Thank you for catching my type! 375 is no big deal, it just will mean they make cook quicker. But, I cook everything at 350.

Brussel Sprouts and bacon make a perfect duet. I was not a fan of Brussel sprouts until I had it with bacon and that made a big impact. I'm going to try this recipe soon!
